Supporting nominations for Scottish Labour leader close – and the hustings begin

Nominations closed yesterday in the race for both Scottish Labour Leader and Deputy Leader. Jim Murphy and Kezia Dugdale have received the most supporting nominations from CLPs and Councillors (as they did with parliamentarians) but Neil Findlay and Katy Clark have performed far better amongst the unions (where most of the votes line in the affiliates section). You can see the names and number of councillor and CLP nominations for each candidate below.

So now the nominations are out of the way, the hustings will begin. Today all of the candidates will be speaking at Scottish Labours annual Women’s Conference at the Scottish TUC. Both Neil Findlay and Katy Clark will be focussing on calls for a Living Wage in Scotland – and taking the power to set the minimum wage froMW Westminster to Holyrood. Clark is also expected to say that the current Scottish Labour elections “offer us the opportunity to take our party back,  to bring it home,  to return it to its values of social justice and equality”. Indeed many of the arguments being made my Clark today are also being made by Findlay, in what looks like an increasing co-ordination between their two campaigns.

Meanwhile Jim Murphy has written a blog for his campaign website ahead of the first hustings, announcing that if he becomes First Minister at least 50% of the Labour Scottish Government Cabinet will be women – and he’ll appoint a Cabinet Minister for Women, with specific responsibility for championing the rights of women within the Scottish Government.

The hustings will run through from today until early December – and LabourList will be covering some of the bigger events in the coming weeks.
